Nouel Lyrics - Laura Marling

She sings along to sailor's song 

In a dress that she made 

When she's gone I sing along 

But it doesn't sound the same 

Oh Nouel, you sing so well 

Sing only for me 

Fickle and changeable 

Though I may always be 

I pulled a thorn from her tiny paw 

Her feet were unclean 

Fetch water, blessed twice 

And hand a sponge to me 

I do well to serve Nouel 

Whatever service I may be 

Fickle and changeable 

Weighing down on me

She speaks a word and it gently turns 

To perfect metaphor 

She likes to say I only play 

When I know what I'm playing for 

Oh Nouel, you know me well 

And I didn't even show you the scar 

Fickle and changeable 

Semper femina 

She'd like to be the kind of free 

Women still can't be alone 

How I wish I could hit the switch 

That keeps you from getting gone 

Oh Nouel, it hurts like hell 

When you're so afraid to die 

Semper femina 

So am I 

Photos 

She lays herself across the bed 

The origine du monde 

Slight of shoulder, long and legged 

Her hair a faded blonde 

Oh Nouel, you sit so well 

A thousand artists' muse 

But you'll be anything you choose 

Fickle and changeable are you 

And long may that continue 

I do well to serve Nouel 

My only guiding star 

Fickle and changeable 

Semper femina
